Vicente Marchan Jr. SHE Specialist

I highly recommend Examinetics. The service has been excellent, and we have been extremely satisfied with them being able to accommodate our scheduling. Once the technician arrived on site, he was very professional and knowledgeable about everything he was doing.

Neal DeNisco Safety Manager

I appreciate the coordination with the tech who services our account and the quality of the reports we receive. The access to reports in the Examinetics system is especially useful. Any contact we’ve made with the company has always been handled professionally. It’s been a pleasure working with this company.

Steven Brussee Senior Manager of Environment and Safety

The facility transitioned to Examinetics as a result of a recommendation made by a sister facility. I was not disappointed. Some things I appreciated:

  • The quote was timely and within expectations
  • The initial registration process was seamless
  • The online info submittal was appreciated
  • The testing technician and van were at the scheduled time, and testing commenced on time
  • The technician was prepared and professional
  • The equipment was clean and sanitized before each team member’s use

The facility will continue to work with Examinetics. I recommend Examinetics to those looking for management of various fitness for duty assessment, such as audiometry and respirator fit testing. 

Kenneth Smith Environmental, Health & Safety Manager

Examinetics has partnered with my company CertainTeed for many years now regarding our Hearing Conservation Program. All I have to do is make a quick phone call or email at the beginning of the year, establish a schedule with my employees and Examinetics handles the rest! They take care of the sign-ins, training, testing, re-testing if necessary and then hand me a neatly organized binder with all of my hearing conservation documentation ready to review. The binder is arranged by sign-in sheet, any standard threshold shifts (STS’s) next, and finally the results of every employee!  Having 300 employees, this makes my annual hearing conservation requirements – stress-free! Lastly, I have always been impressed with the professionalism of the Examinetics staff and equipment, including the on-site technician and the mobile lab. I plan to use Examinetics for the remainder of my EHS career!

Molly Harr Office Manager

Examinetics was very easy to work with the initial email to the scheduling of our appointment time and all subsequent emails. Upon arrival, the examiner was very professional and patient while we organized the employees. He was very proficient and didn’t interrupt our production schedule. We will use Examinetics each year and encourage other companies to do so. 

Ryan Roberts HR Director

Our experience with Examinetics was nothing short of perfect. We’ve used Enviromed in the past, and I’m happy to report our trust in Examinetics is just as strong. The technician showed up early, set up the mobile unit and was able to test all our employees in a timely fashion. He was professional, knowledgeable and courteous to our employees. The process from to schedule our appointment to obtaining our test results was great. I would recommend Examinetics to any company looking for quality hearing testing and competent technicians to complete the job. 

Kartina Doerr HR Manager

I have been working with Examinetics for the past six years. Everyone we interact with at Examinetics has been accommodating and supportive. If I have questions, they are answered quickly. All of the staff members I have interacted with either personally or via telephone have been pleasant and knowledgeable. The Examinetics team is professional and respectful. It is a pleasure to work with this company. 

Megan Breazeale HR Generalist

Every year, Examinetics is the main event at our safety week. They are very accommodating and helpful in every way. From coordinating schedules, to constant communication and helpful follow-ups, I have never had a bad experience with them. The service coordinator and occupational audiologist that we work with are fun, kind and make the whole experience a lot less stressful. Thanks for all your help!

Sue Kay EHS Coordinator

I would like to thank Examinetics for coming to our facility to assist our company with hearing exams. It is important to be aware of the risks and possible safety issues that can come with working in a manufacturing environment. We greatly appreciated that Examinetics could come to our location and handle all of our health testing needs. Keeping our employees safe and healthy is always our top priority. 

I have had experience with several audio testing companies, and getting them to come to our facility in a timely manner can be a challenge. However, that was not the case with Examinetics who were ready to test our employees in just a few weeks. This has typically taken several months with competitors. On top of that, the customer service, provided by Client Service Coordinator Meghan Hartman, was second to none. She went above and beyond to ensure all our needs were net. Overall, the experience was fantastic and the services were timely efficient – they were able to get nearly 200 employees tested over three different shifts in just two days. We look forward to using Examinetics for all our future health testing needs. 

Stephen Housler EH&S Manager

I have used Examinetics at another company I worked for two previous times and have been very satisfied with the service they provide. When I arrived in Clarion, I received numerous complaints about the annual hearing testing company being used. I recommended using Examinetics. After, I received numerous comments from the employees on how the annual hearing testing process was much better this year.

The technicians are very professional and easy to work with. The vans are extremely clean and well organized. During the testing, there were no interpretations; the technicians kept the process running very orderly. Employees’ wait time was very short between testing, which is very important when you are taking employees away from their duties. I would highly recommend Examinetics to other companies from their annual hearing testing. 

Josh Malchow EHS Coordinator

We have used Examinetics for over a decade to conduct our audiometric and respirator fit testing. They always exceed our expectations in service, correspondence and reporting. Their coordinators are professional, respond promptly and are always willing to work with us on scheduling that best fits our needs. The field specialists arrive early to set up. They are knowledgeable, professional and courteous. Finally, the reports we receive are thorough, organized and timely. They provided the necessary details bundled in a labeled binder and retained a history of our results on an easy-to-use website. We are pleased every year with the quality Examinetics provides and will continue to use them. 

Bobbie Wells Office Manager

I am extremely happy with the service we receive from Examinetics. Their visit is very well planned out before they arrive and everything goes as planned. The very best thing is their excellent communication. I know what to expect and when to expect it. I hope to remain one of their customers for a very long time.

Alicia Pearsall West Coast Service Center Manager

I have worked at PPI for 13 years, and every year Examinetics does a superior job. From the scheduling process to the technicians that come out, everything goes smoothly. They care not only about the visit itself but the whole experience. I give them 5 STARS!

Charles Whitten Quality/Safety Manager

We have had a great relationship with Examinetics. Each and every employee we have met and spoken with has been professional, and all our appointments run on time. They always keep in touch with us to make sure that everything is up-to-date and that we are scheduled to meet our compliance requirements and needs. We appreciate the people there and look forward to continuing the use of their services. 

Anselmo Fernandez Jr. Safety Manager

I have had the privilege of using Examinetics for four years now and I have not had any issues during our testing and/or with Examinetics employees. The time for the testing of our employees is prompt and very accurate. An explanation of the testing is always given to employees prior to and at the end of each testing procedure. The Examinetics team is prompt and every question is always answered (no matter what it is) with a kind and courteous answer. The Examinetics company should be proud to have such knowledgeable and caring employees.

Whitney Ziegler HR and Safety Manager

Examinetics makes it very easy for my company to have hearing and respirator fit testing every year. They come onsite set up shop, and my employees are usually in and out of hearing of fit testing with 20 minutes. They provide the material needed beforehand so they can have it prefilled-out so it makes for easier process the day of. Also, if the employee had testing in the past, the information is prefilled out for them. All they have to do is fill in the medical questions and then they are tested. It’s a great convenience to have them here onsite as it saves the company time and money!

Johnathan Mize ESS Manager

I have been using Examinetics for a long time. They are by far the most professional, reliable and easiest company I have ever used for hearing testing and training. They work around our schedule with never an issue, and when they’re done I get the reports that day already in a binder. If we have employees that need retesting, they’re retested then. Our employees like that they get their results right then and most of all, that the unit is air-conditioned. Thank you to the technicians that have been here before. Y’all do an awesome job!

Ines Restrepo HR Manager

I have worked with Examinetics several times, not only at this company but at a previous one. I have used their services for audiometric testing and also respirator fit test. The customer service is great, the technicians are very helpful and scheduling a visit is very easy. They provide all paperwork way in advance so your employees have time to complete it before their visit. I have always been very satisfied with their services. I recommend them. 

Todd Atkins Director of Safety

We have been using Examinetics for four years now to perform our respiratory fit testing and our audiometric testing. Every spring, they send a technician to spend the week with us performing our testing. Each year, we are more impressed than the previous. The technicians are professional, polite and quite familiar with the task at hand. They are highly educated, humble and completely qualified to provide these services. By the end of our week of testing, they actually feel like one of our own employees. 

Bill DeLaigle Aviation Safety Manager

We started using this service a couple of years ago. Before this, I had a hard time getting our employees to the local clinic for hearing and respirator fit testing. Now the van just pulls up for eight hours at a time, and our employees take about 15 minutes out of their time to take the hearing and about that for the respirator. A full report in a nice binder is given to me prior to them leaving. The process and the company could not be any better in my opinion. We even save about 50% on the services compared to sending individuals to the clinic. 

James Rogers EHS Manager

Very smooth process. The technician, Manny Rosales, was very good to work with. He was able to rearrange the schedule to correct a last-minute error in scheduling. He communicated with me constantly and made the process very smooth and efficient. 

Kevin Litterell EHS Director

Our most recent visit with Examinetics onsite mobile annual hearing testing was outstanding. The technician was very professional and courteous. Everything was smooth and stress-free. This is why we have used Examinetics for over 20 years at our facility.  

Robert Sharra Plant Manager

Examinetics had provided great services by being on time and with timely testing schedules as well! Their customer service is courteous and provides excellent services,  and I would recommend continued each year. They follow-up each year two months prior to your next testing due date. I would strongly recommend their service to any company. I rated them 5 out of 5 for services and billing. Their hearing reports are produced on the same of testing and invoicing with 24 hours. Great organization to work with!

Janet Bryan Human Resources Business Partner

Examinetics is our company of choice for our hearing exam, and we have been extremely happy with the service. They are easy to work with, stay on of the timelines and handles everything. The techs that come onsite are always very professional, helpful and do a great job. I’m very blessed with the reports that they give, and it’s great that they leave them with you before they go. No waiting! It easy to get follow-up help when I’ve needed it. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is busy and doesn’t want to spend time handling it…they do it all for you!

Shannon Royer Trans Supervisor

We use Examinetics and it’s always a very easy and undisruptive process. From the team that helps with the scheduling to the driver that comes out to your location, they are all very nice and helpful. The process is very easy, and the team is very professional.

Steve Dale Director of Human Resources

We have used Examinetics twice in the past six months, and we have been impressed with the support they have provided. The technicians are efficient and well equipped to handle the large number of plant employees we send through the testing. The end result is, we get our employees tested with minimal impact on production. We look forward to our next round of tests for our employees with Examinetics. 

Becky Ashbrooks Safety Manager

Hearing tests are never fun and can be a real struggle, but the Examinetics technicians made it easier than in any year in the recent past.  I’ve been doing these for 18 years with Examinetics conducting our tests, and this went so smoothly. The technicians contacted me the week before and gave me step by step what they would need. I’ve done these for lots of years and knew the process; but if someone didn’t, they put everything in writing to make it easy to make sure that the plant would be ready. Both technicians were great – worked with us on schedule, moving people around, etc.. This was one of the easiest, best-conducted testing experiences that I’ve had in several years.  They were so professional, friendly and kept on schedule, even when the truck had a few issues with wi-fi.  They never missed a beat.

David Soto Environmental, Health & Safety Director

Examinetics, in my 14 years of doing business with them, has proven time and again that their professionalism and attention to detail distinguishes them from the rest. They are willing to work around my schedule, arriving prepared, courteous and gracious with my personnel, as well as answer any questions and provide services. They have proven that they do not only want our business but our partnership; doing what is needed to keep us in compliance and attentive to the special needs of our plant and employees. 

I know it’s not just the technicians that are on the mobile units providing the testing, but a culture within the company that produces that customer-oriented personnel it has on staff. I appreciate the consistency of the customer care they provide, no matter who it is or when…in dealing with Examinetics, I know I am getting top-shelf service for budget cost. Thank you all at Examinetics for making me look like a pro!

Lalisa Hurless Environmental Health & Safety Specialist

Examinetics has a very efficient and organized process that allowed us to complete our audiograms for over eighty employees in one production day. When the exams were completed, we were given a binder with all the employees’ testing results, along with a report showing which employees if any needed retested. Examinetics makes our annual audiogram Testing a very simplified process.

David Goins HR/Safety Manager

We have used Examinetics for several years now for our annual hearing testing at Insteel. The field technicians are very knowledgeable and courteous. The staff at the home office are also very helpful and prompt. I would definitely recommend using Examinetics at your next required hearing test onsite.

Michelle Gleason Office Manager

We highly recommend Examinetics and will continue to use them yearly for our plant’s hearing tests. They are always on time, set up and ready to go. They are conscious of our time and get through the employees in a timely manner and provide feedback in the same day! Their staff is always very friendly and helpful.

Britney Waldrop Environmental Health & Safety Specialist

I have had the pleasure of working with Examinetics over the past 3 years for annual audiograms and have been very happy with their services. Our account manager is very receptive to our scheduling needs and the technicians are always prompt, efficient and very friendly. We are happy to have Examinetics as a vendor and partner.

Gloria McMullen Human Resources Manager

We are very pleased to recommend Examinetics for your mobile audiogram needs. They are very professional, prompt and efficient in conducting the hearing tests for our employees. They are always flexible in working within our time constraints to ensure that our employees on all three shifts have an opportunity to be tested at a time convenient to them. Further, once a date and time have been established, they always call or send an email to follow up before the actual date of the tests to ensure that we haven’t missed anything beforehand. Report results are submitted to our on-site contact the same day.

Tammy Hensley Human Resources Director

We have used Examinetics for three years now. They are always prompt on getting the pre-information to you before the date of the hearing testing. The mobile unit operator always calls the day before to ensure location and timing. They call when they are close to the site, as well as upon arrival. The mobile unit and testing booths are always very clean. The technician conducts the tests promptly. A notebook with all the test results is put together for the facility at the end of the hearing sessions with all the details and any further actions that are needed to be taken with our employees. In summary, Examinetics is on-time, courteous, clean and organized!

David Turner Factory Manager – Nestle Waters

Examinetics is a first-class company. I received a call a few days before they were to show up at my factory to review the plan, determine the time to start and the expectation from my team. The execution of the plan was flawless. I would highly recommend this company for your testing your associates’ hearing.

Work-Related Evaluations

Our team of full-time audiologists supervise all hearing testing services and hearing conservation programs. You can rely on our in-house professional review and threshold shift consultation.

Determining work-relatedness is important because an employee’s hearing loss that has initially been flagged as a mathematically recordable standard threshold shift (STS) may be an OSHA-recordable event. Work-relatedness determinations are also necessary when a worker has filed a workers compensation claim for hearing loss.

Our Work-Related Evaluation service helps companies comply with OSHA recordkeeping. To keep your OSHA Form 300 log accurate, our audiology team investigates confirmed hearing shifts and determines whether workplace noise caused or contributed to the hearing shift.

Our licensed audiologists may determine whether the detected hearing loss is work related for OSHA recordability purpose. 

Workplace Noise Surveys

Noise monitoring is foundational to your hearing conservation program. As a full service occupational hearing testing provider, we offer noise surveys to measure the sound levels generated throughout your facilities. Noise surveys are conducted by certified occupational audiologists and industrial hygienists.

OSHA requires that “when there are significant changes in machinery or production processes that may result in increased noise levels, remonitoring must be conducted to determine whether additional employees need to be included in the hearing conservation program.” It is recommended to monitor annually or every other year to safeguard your hearing conservation program – the minimal cost of a noise survey pales in comparison to the cost of a single Workers Compensation Claim.

Our Noise Survey Services Include:

  • Noise dosimetry
  • Sound Level Meter (SLM) Measurements
  • Calibration
  • Noise survey reporting:
    • Easily interpreted visual data
    • Explanation of federal regulation requirements
    • Hearing protection assessment, as appropriate
    • Control recommendations for your hearing conservation program, as appropriate

Frequently Asked Questions

Hearing Testing FAQs

Employers must provide hearing testing within 6 months of noise exposure when testing at a clinic or an on-demand device. If testing takes place on a mobile unit, employees have a year after noise exposure to test. It is important to test workers’ hearing annually to identify deterioration in their hearing ability as early as possible.

Examinetics Test, Train & Counsel service, or TTC, completes the OSHA mandatory follow-up required for employees in your hearing conservation program.

Examinetics will:

  • Test each employee, whether it be his or her baseline or annually required audiogram
  • Train each employee through a video that encompasses the OSHA required components for annual hearing conservation annual training
  • Counsel (explain) the test results each employee and provided written notification to employees showing a Standard Threshold Shift, or STS, and required by federal regulation. However, that’s not all. Examinetics goes beyond this mandate by providing written notification of results to each employee tested whether they show an STS or not. We think notifying employees who are doing well in protecting and preserving their hearing when their hearing has not changed significantly over time is a good idea as well.

Being prepared can help make your day of mobile audiogram testing go smoothly. Please be aware of the following ways make your testing day more efficient.

  • Have the right forms
  • Have employees provide their hearing protection in person
  • Limit excessive noise exposure before testing day: Motorcycling, firework explosions and Metallica concerts are just a few activities your employees should avoid the day before testing. While your employees should treat every day like testing day, limiting noise exposure outside of work 14 hours before testing can be quite beneficial for their baseline test.

After your hearing tests are completed there will be a physical report provided. 24 hours after completed testing, results are available in our online XM customer portal.

A Standard Threshold Shift, or STS, is defined in the occupational noise exposure standard at 29 CFR 1910.95(g)(10)(i) as a change in hearing threshold, relative to the baseline audiogram for that employee, of an average of 10 decibels (dB) or more at 2000, 3000, and 4000 hertz (Hz) in one or both ears.

https://www.osha.gov/laws-regs/regulations/standardnumber/1904/1904.10

A Work Relatedness Evaluation (WRE) helps delineate if hearing loss is due to a worker’s environment or external factors.

The OSHA Form 300 is used to document all workplace illnesses and injuries. Hearing loss caused or aggravated by workplace noise is a workplace illness when the following conditions apply:

  1. The current hearing test shows:
    • Average thresholds of >25dB at 2KHz, 3KHz and 4KHZ relative to audiometric zero, in either ear, and in the same ear, an
    • Average change of >10dB at 2KHz, 3KHz and 4KHZ compared to the baseline, in the same ear
  2. Workplace noise caused or contributed to the average change in hearing. This can be determined through a thorough Work Relatedness Evaluation.

On-Demand FAQs

NIOSH provides a free sound level meter app which can be used to determine if your testing environment should be compliant. You can download the app from the app store on an iOS device. 

Using the app, measure the ambient noise in your room. If the number in the LAeq [dB] field is under 45, your room should be ok for testing.

Measurements of 45dB or less do not guarantee that a room will be compliant when third octave band measurements are taken with a type 2 sound level meter. In addition, rooms with values greater than 45dB may be compliant when third octave band measurements are taken with a type 2 sound level meter. The LAeq measurement should simply be taken to generally determine if a room could be considered for testing. Final verification will have to be done with the Salux Calibration device prior to testing daily.

If you’re having trouble finding a room with an acceptable ambient noise level, move to a room without excessive HVAC noise and away from any nearby machinery. Conference rooms and guest offices are usually good choices.

You must have Wi-Fi to use Salux. A Wi-Fi Hotspot or internet stick are options that will work.

There are 20 languages offered through Salux. The choice of languages are English, Spanish, French (Standard), French (Haiti), German, Polish, Russian, Bosnian, Haitian Creole, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Filipino, Vietnamese, Hmong, Hindi, Arabic, Swahili, Burmese, and Somali. The notification document is the only screen not in all languages, while the explanation is given in the chosen translation so the participant can understand the image of their graphed results.

Every client who subscribes to Salux receives an onboarding. Additionally, we have a live support team on standby for set up questions, general support, or technical support. You can reach us by dedicated toll-free number or email from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM central time. The support team are also tele-technicians if you need testing sessions with someone who is CAOHC-certified.

You have various options for self-administered testing. One option to have Salux on-demand is a short-term rental. The time periods are two weeks or one month, based on your needs. We also offer an annual subscription, where you keep Salux all year long. This is sold on a tier system based on how many tests you need to perform.

If you are on an annual subscription, a Subscription Manager will reach out to you toward the end of your annual period about the required annual calibration for the audiometer. They will work with you to send the kit back to us free of charge and we will put a new kit in the mail. You will have no disruption to service, and you will roll over to the next year meeting your compliance needs.
